Oct. 5, 1931 - Four held in fake ticket racket: Fake Packer football tickets found in the possession of four Milwaukee youths arrested here Sunday noon, were secured from a middle-aged stranger, who said he had bought a block of tickets for speculation and found himself "stuck" with them, the quartet told Cletus Cradek, assistant district-attorney, after pleading not guilty in Municipal court this morning to charges of possessing and selling counterfeit tickets.

Charles O'Connor, Green Bay, indirectly led to the capture of the quartet when he came to the Columbus Club box office and asked if some tickets he had just bought from one of two men on the corner of Jefferson and Walnut sts. were genuine. E.A. Spachmann in charge of sales, immediately recognized them as counterfeits.

The Green Bay Football corporation today issued a warning to fans to purchase no tickets except through authorized agents, to avoid similar trouble.
